My new daily driver

I finally decided I'd had enough dealing with my last trucks frequent issues, and traded off for a 2020 Ram Bighorn crew cab. It has the 5.7Hemi, and rides like a caddy..absolutely love it . They call the color Hydro blue

Nice rig prolly faster than the cutlass too.

what kind of mpgs are you getting? I have a 4dr truck too over the past two years i have averaged 22 mpg w mixed driving. To put that in perspective the engine has 375hp and 490ft lbs of torque.

Looks too nice to subject it to NY winters. Love the color, I used to have a Dakota in Intense Blue which appears most similar.

so far its averaging 18 , I've only had a week. My last truck , a 16 Silverado crew was getting similar mileage, both have the cylinder shutdown mode during highway driving . This has an 8 spd trans too

I waited a long time to upgrade trucks, my last one had a 4 speed auto and got about 16mpg w 250 hp.

a guy at work always laughs at me because my first question is whats it get for mileage? Another guy at work has an 07 shelby mustang i know the hp and trq specs but i asked whats it get for mpgs...he rolled his eyes and said he doesnt even look! My old 5 sp 300hp mustang would regularly turn in 22-23mpgs w mixed driving

i like the performance aspect of many newer cars, but im always interested in mpg too! Except for on my cutlass ive never really tried to check it, my speedo/ odo is off due to rear end change so i just fill it when its low...id guess itsprobably 10ish mpg.
